CELEBRITIES and dignitaries have turned out to pay their respects to Sir Norman Wisdom.
A number of famous and well respected faces were at St George's Church for his funeral service which started just after 2pm.
Actors Bradley Walsh and Todd Carty, the Mayor of Douglas Ritchie McNicholl, Lord Grade and the Chief Minister Tony Brown all attended the service.
Lieutenant Governor Vice Admiral Sir Paul Haddacks and Lady Haddacks, Council Leader David Christian, Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan and Dave Woodiwiss and Jim Sharples from the Isle of Man Wooden Spoon Charity were also in attendance.
Around 500 people packed the church with around the same amount of well-wishers gathering outside the church gates in Upper Church Street.
Thousands of people lined the Douglas Promenades clapping as Sir Norman's coffin passed.
As the horse drawn carriage carrying Sir Norman's body pulled up outside the church it was saluted by a Standard Bearer.
Sir Norman's famous "gimp" hat sat proudly on his coffin as it was taken into the church.
